Tainan, Taiwan, December 7th, 2010
With the support of the Ministry of Education, Taiwan, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, has organized 2010 National Conference on Gender Equity Education in International Conference Hall, Kuang-Fu Campus, where nearly 300 people, including members from Gender Equity Committee, executive secretaries, department heads, gender equality teachers and promoters of gender equity education, have actively participated to share the characteristics and experience of the promotion gender equity and thus to increase the achievements of gender equity education.
NCKU President Michael Ming-Chiao Lai expressed in the opening ceremony, “It is the responsibility of a university to provide an environmental-friendly campus and gender equity is one of the important elements for an environmental-friendly campus. In the patriarchal society, the male always plays the dominant role. It is not until recently that people have gradually paid attention to gender equity.”
President Lai mentioned, “In recent years, the governments and the Ministry of Education, Taiwan, have put in efforts to promote gender equity education. I believe gender equity education consists of education, where people can understand the importance of gender equity through educational promotion, excellent environment, where workplace safety will guarantee the safety of the staff, especially female, and regulations, where misconducts need to be punished and re-educated.”
President Lai also stated, “NCKU has devoted itself to the promotion of gender equity education. During the years of my presidency, even though I could not attend each meeting, I have never missed the staff meeting and the gender equity meeting. I understand that every issue discussed in the meetings or every decision made in the meetings has great influence on the teaching faculties and administrative personnel. I hope to take this opportunity where people gather together to brainstorm and share ideas to make gender equity truly rooted in the campus.”
Mr. Ching-Shui Lo of the Student Affairs Committee, Ministry of Education, revealed, “The active participation of the conference indicates that this event organized by National Cheng Kung University is extremely meaningful and it also illustrates that the topic of gender equity has been taken seriously by each school. In fact, the work of gender equity education is ongoing. Today, as I read the newspaper, I saw an article about sexual bullying which happened in Changhua. The kids did not know their behavior has breached the law, thus we have to continue put in more efforts for the promotion of gender equity education.”
In the 8th National Education Conference, gender equity education has been accepted as an important element of civil accomplishments, where educational units have to carry out the six strategies in the White Paper of gender equity education published by the Ministry of Education on March 8th, 2010, hoping to bring better picture of the promotion of gender equity education in schools.
Mr. Ching-Shui Lo also said, “I have seen achievements of gender equity education promoted by many schools today. For example, National Cheng Kung University has made excellent achievements in environmental-friendly bridges and constructions and clubs. In addition, other participating schools have their own unique characteristics of the achievements of promoting gender equity education. Through sharing experience and observing the advantages of other schools, the promotion of gender equity education can gradually advance, allowing children to learn and grow in a truly friendly environment of gender equity.”
The 2010 National Conference on Gender Equity Education, which is held on December 7th in International Conference Hall, Kuang-Fu Campus, NCKU, consisted of keynote speeches, exchange of practical operations and visiting experience and achievements of promoting gender equity education of National Cheng Kung University.
